Chapter 1660: Unification (1/2)
Li Yao and Hei Yelan looked at each other, and even he could not help being deeply shocked by the ”gaming society” of the new federation a hundred years later: ”So, in the current federation society, if you don't take part in the ”Civilization” game seriously, it's hard to move. Up?”
”It won’t be difficult to make an inch, but if you accumulate a lot of contribution points and game time in the game, it is indeed a great advantage in society. In addition to the ones just mentioned, the tax rate that has the most relationship with the common people is tax deductible when playing ”Civilization”. of.”
Ling Xiaole explained, “The Star Federation is a high tax burden country. There is no way. The new Federation has just developed for a century. There are still many planets in the Seven Worlds that are in a state of poverty and poverty. They have to increase investment in infrastructure. Yes, the threat of the Imperial Expeditionary Force forces us to maintain an overly strong standing army, and the annual military expenditures are astronomical.
”Therefore, the lives of the people of the New Federation are far from carefree, and the basic tax rate will even reach more than 50% of the total income.
”However, generally, no one really pays so much tax. You can do all kinds of tasks in ”Civilization” to reduce taxes. The better you play ”Civilization”, the lower the tax rate; and, Every year, various virtual competitions are held in each region, and champions can even be tax-free in full!”
Li Yao was dumbfounded: ”Can I still reduce taxes by playing games?”
”I repeat again, this is not a pure game, but a'full simulation, cloud data, unified, Xinghai optical path aggregation platform'. Any decision made by anyone in ”Civilization” can be regarded as His'Intellectual Property' may be of great help to the advancement of the entire'Xingyao Civilization'!”
Ling Xiaole said very seriously, ”Isn't it reasonable to use ‘intellectual property’ instead of money and hand it over to the state?”
Li Yao pondered carefully, it seems that this is true.
In fact, as early as a hundred years ago, when he put forward the idea of ”using the ”Civilization” game to start wisely”, he considered the issue of public participation.
Because the higher the reality of ”Civilization”, the farther it is from the original meaning of the word ”game”. The composition of various massive data, the brain-burning operation and information processing, is not acceptable to ordinary players. .
It is naturally impossible for the Federation to force everyone to play a boring and extremely brain-burning game, but the amount of data collected does not reach a certain level, or it attracts only a small number of ”deep players” instead of all walks of life. In terms of industry, men, women, and children, the final decision-making output has no practical guiding significance.
This problem had entangled Li Yao and others for a long time, until he left Tianyuan and went to the depths of the dark nebula, there was no good solution.
Unexpectedly, the new federation would solve it completely by using only the two tricks of ”High School Entrance Examination” and ”Tax Deduction Rate”. It's really... amazing!
Ling Xiaole smiled and said: ”Those just now can be regarded as more practical benefits. The next one is the most critical ‘honour’, which is the citizenship of the Star Federation.
”The federation, like the empire, also pays attention to the ‘citizen contribution points’ system. Only when the contribution points reach a certain level can they become true citizens and enjoy the power to determine the country’s future.
”However, the'citizen contribution points' of the true human empire can only be earned by completing various difficult, dangerous and complex tasks, such as hunting down beasts on undeveloped planets with inaccessible and harsh environments, which seems to be'fair.' How can ordinary people achieve this system?
”The Federation also has this type of mission. For example, as an'advance team', it can earn a lot of contribution points by exploring unknown resource planets. Even if the general public cannot complete these dangerous missions, they can still pass the ”Civilization” Various tasks, accumulate contribution points, and learn how to be a qualified'citizen'!
”Yes, in the eyes of us in the Federation, the word ‘citizen’ is supreme, representing a great glory and a heavy responsibility, even more glorious than the word ‘cultivator’!
”You two should know that since the collapse of the Xinghai Empire 10,000 years ago, hundreds of civilizations have emerged in the broken galaxy. Many civilizations use elections and even referendums to determine the future, but their endings are all Very regrettable.
”It's not that the elections are bad, but even if you leave aside the inefficiencies of the elections, the real question is how to make the public understand that the tiny bit of power they hold is vital to the entire civilization!
”The highest speaker of the Federation is also elected, but we do not believe that anyone is born with the power to determine the future of civilization-human nature is selfish, untrained people are always short-sighted, and a large number of untrained people gather Together, it is not just short-sighted, it is simply a mob.
”This'rabbit crowd' means not just ordinary people, even those who are cultivators, even if they are good old monsters, before receiving the corresponding political, economic, social, and cultural training, they are also rabble, and they are not worthy of votes.
